So today is my last day to be in my 20's. I can't say it bothers me that much, especially since I don't feel or look 30. Or at least that's what I get told ALL the time. Most people think I'm babysitting when they're my kids! At my surprise party I had a tiara on that said 30 and a necklace that had 30 on it and when I got carded they thought I was 18, what??? All yesterday I was thinking of what I have accomplished in my 20's and here's some what I came up with:
I accepted Christ at age 21
I got married at 20 years old
I had Gunnar at age 23, I had Lily at 25, I had Molly at 27
I graduated nursing school and passed my nursing boards
I became a stay at home Mom
I got my first nephew at age 29!!
I watched both my brothers and my sister-in-law get married
I hiked the Grand Canyon top to bottom---Twice!!
I've traveled to Las Vegas several times, Miami, Destin, Orlando, panama city, Daytona Beach,Jacksonville,Ft.Lauderdale, Cancun, Myrtle Beach, Nashville, Chicago, pigeon forge, Canada, st. Louis, Scottsdale, western Caribbean cruise (ok you get it I love to travel!!!)
I've moved over 7 times in my 20's-ugh!!
I've been a soccer coach and know nothing about soccer!
I ran a mini marathon
I backed my Mom's van into my Mother-in-laws car--oh yes I did!!
I solemn skied (just a few weeks ago)
I bungee jumped
I voted in a historic election
Those are just some off the top of my head, I'm sure later today I'll think of something major I forgot, or if you can remember something I would love to hear it!!
When talking to my sister in law yesterday she put a new spin on it saying "Think of what you'll do in the next 10 years in your 30's. She said a lot of time will be at sporting events! Then I got to thinking of a couple things that I will do in my 30's and here's just a couple that struck me fast:
I will celebrate my 10 year wedding anniversary (7/2009!!)
I will have 2 kids in High School
When I'm 39 I will watch my son drive!!
I don't want to get to ahead of myself but those are just a couple biggies!! I look forward to all that is in store. At this point in my life I am so blessed with my own amazing husband & kids, a wonderful family and in-laws, and by far the greatest friends anyone could ask for, and most importantly I have Christ walking with me every step of the way. So I'm pretty certain the good times are still to come even though I'm 30(in 24 hours)!!
